Busted.

He lives on Keizersgracht 708 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

It’s Oh So White

Kopli street.

The neighbours haven’t been out much.

It’s me again, Semmi

Semmi.

If you look hard enough you can spot me inside of Skype for Windows software client.

Before the storm

Kiiu-Aabla.

We’re promised 20-30cm of fresh snow over the next few days. Stay tuned.

Digging in the archives, here’s something I found today. Those of you using Skype rather passionately may recognise this fellow.

Have you tried my name with the brackets in a Skype chat?

Even though he is not wearing shorts here, yes, that’s Toivo, the guy behind the emoticon. The dog is Toby, also the original emoticon star. The picture was taken by Jarek roughly a year after we created the emoticon.

Come here, honey

Some serious pollination going on.

JarekJ.com

After following his Beijing Olympics photo blog back in August, I managed to convince my friend Jarek of a need for a proper place to present the pictures he takes. Without further ado, JarekJ.com is now at your service. It’s fully in Estonian, the way he likes it, but I’m sure his pictures speak the language everyone can easily understand.

I’d like to thank Jens for doing stuff with WordPress I could never pull off and staying patient while at it. We are both going to kick back now and enjoy some stunning photography and its stories.

Color sync

Priidu Zilmer — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:29:27 +0000

We’ve spent a bunch of time with the posse on studying the ways to display photography online so it retains its proper colors. The conclusion we’ve come to for now is …

finetune photos in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, Apple Aperture or any other photo editing software of your liking,
take screenshots of them as they are when you’re happy with them,
resize the screenshots (if you couldn’t take them 1:1 already) to a desired pixel size and optimize a .jpg files out of them, staying away from all the color profiling shit.

Considering all the color profile handling, operating system gamma and browser difference jazz going on at the moment, this is your easiest way out. For now, we hope. Yes, it’s not comfy, but at least the time and effort you’ve put into getting the colors of your photography right is justified in the most reasonable way possible.

Soup Sunday

Port-flavored French onion soup.

Winter’s coming

We docked S/Y Eneli for winter today. It was an extraordinary weather in Tallinn for taking a couple of shots.
